“Is “God’s law” violated by such medical use of blood? Is it wrong to sustain life by infusions of blood or plasma or red cells or the various blood fractions? Yes!

The law that God gave to Noah and which applies to all his descendants makes it wrong for anyone to eat blood, that is, to use the blood of another creature to nourish or sustain one’s life.”

“But regardless of whether it is whole blood or a blood fraction, whether it is blood taken from one’s own body or that taken from someone else, whether it is administered as a transfusion or as an injection, the divine law applies.”

*** w63 2/15 Carry Your Own Load of Responsibility ***

“Shall he call his congregation servant or the Society? That should not be necessary if he is prepared to carry his own load of responsibility. He need only ask the doctor:

“From what was the plasma taken?” “How are the red cells obtained?” “Where did you get this substance?”

If the answer is “Blood,” he knows what course to take, for it is not just whole blood but ANYTHING that is derived from blood and used to sustain life or strengthen one that comes under this principle.”

###########################

So, at this point the Watchtower is teaching that the divine law of God is violated using either whole blood or fractions from whole blood, or as the Watchtower says, anything that comes from blood.

This is supposed to be what the DIVINE LAW SAYS ON THE MATTER

Did you notice the dogmatic “YES” that they emphatically state about being in violation of God’s word?

Regardless of whether it was whole blood or some fraction from blood – or anything from blood – keep that in mind now!!!

So, if the Watchtower Society is God’s mouth piece and he directs them, would you not conclude that God would know what constitutes violating his own divine word and law? Therefore, the Watchtower Society would have gotten this one correct.

What really got the Society into theological trouble is when they started to break blood into:

Scriptural Fractions and

Unscriptural Fractions

At this point they had no scriptural reference for these various fractions. Namely, allowing the Jehovah’s Witness to take certain fractions and barring them from taking others.

The question to ask any Jehovah’s Witness that comes to your door is, when did the divine law stop applying to some fractions of blood and not other fractions since their original ruling was not to accept any blood, including fractions?

Can you show a Biblical reference on when blood fractions discontinued being a violation of divine law and how some are now alright to take?

What you read above was merely the opinion of a group of guys sitting around a conference room table making decisions that can affect the lives of many – and their rulings are expected to be accepted as new light from God.

In this podcast, Sharece talks about her life growing up as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses and what it was like facing the tragic death of a close friend. She talks about the positive relationships she forged with individuals in one congregation and shares a stark contrast on how she was treated at other congregations.

Sharece helps us to appreciate how she became involved with the Jehovah’s Witness faith and what it was like when she walked away from it all upon deciding to relocate from Connecticut to Atlanta to attend a private college. Little did she know that in heeding a simple admonition from her mother to attend the annual Memorial celebration of Jehovah’s Witnesses commemorating Jesus’ death, would start her down a path that would pull her deeper into the religion.

Eventually, she begins networking with various individuals within her circuit in Atlanta and becomes a social butterfly, enjoying everything the Jehovah’s Witnesses have to offer. She goes as far as cutting off all ties with current relationships. Her boyfriend gets concerned as he notices a stark change in her attitude and asks her why she’s talking and even walking differently. With true concern he asks, “what happened to my girlfriend?”. Her quick response is, “what we have is over” and continues to inform him that she is rekindling her relationship with the Jehovah’s Witnesses.

She’s got this bubbly personality that wreaks of passion for the theater and explains how she woke up and realized the Jehovah’s Witnesses do not have the truth as they proclaim. Instead of having a bitter attitude about her past, she uses her past experiences to her advantage by incorporating them as themes for her plays

In this interview she pours her heart out discussing what it was like living from paycheck to paycheck due to her decisions to pioneer and work part time. While it is taking time to dig herself out of her financial hole, she has a positive attitude and is forging ahead and not looking back.

She’s full of life has a lot of enthusiasm, drive and ambition and her willingness to survive despite her circumstances is a true testament to her success.

TRANSLATION The New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (NWT) is the name of the Bible used worldwide by members of the Jehovah’s Witness sect. The Watchtower Society claims this work to have been made directly into English from Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek languages. This translation, they claim, was made by “a committee of anointed witnesses of Jehovah,” but the Society refuses to divulge the names and credentials of the men who comprised this committee. The work was originally released in six volumes starting in 1950. In 1961 the entire Bible had been completely “translated” and thus released in a one volume publication. Since that time many additional editions of this Bible have rolled off the Watchtower’s presses, complete with changes and alterations.

This podcast asks the critical thinking question as to how the Governing Body of Jehovah’s Witnesses claim their power and authority. If they do not claim to be inspired by God, how is it that they teach their members that they are the only true religion? How can they make rules and expect others to follow them, if they are not inspired of God? Where does the Governing Body actually receive their power and authority? We encourage you to do your research http://jwfacts.com to learn about the foundation of this religion. Be willing to be open minded and let the chips fall where they may.

In this video, JT & Daniel have a circular conversation about how to prepare for a Jehovah’s Witness visit. What talking points can you prepare in advance of them coming to your door? Is there something that you can say to a Jehovah’s Witness to make them think outside of the box?

Jehovah’s Witnesses are trained to come to your door and speak from a script. They rarely deviate from what they are told. They do not read literature from other denominations and if you offer them something to read from your church, oftentimes, they will refuse to accept it. Although some have taken church literature out of respect for the householder and then simply toss it in the trash after they leave your door.

In this interview, Lady Cee interviews Helen, a long time Jehovah’s Witness that woke up to the truth about the truth after serving many faithful years. Her husband of 54 years, decided decades ago that he did not want to continue being one of Jehovah’s Witnesses because he never believed the religion to begin with. Yet their love survived the test of time and was a much stronger bond than simply going out in field service and attending mundane meetings.

Helen shares her experience on how she met her husband and why she eventually joined her husband in a quest to live her life now and not for some future date.

She offers a lot of words of wisdom that can help many people learn how to survive after leaving the Watchtower, Bible & Tract Society.

In this video, we will critically examine the teaching of Jehovah’s Witnesses that only 144,000 people will go to heaven. According to the Watchtower, there has only been the Heavenly Calling for anyone who became a Christian from the 1st century up till the 19thcentury. This would mean that Jesus Christ had less than 144,000 […]

The Jehovah’s Witness faith has a long history in discouraging its members from having children. Why? Because they believe the end of the world is near and their time can be better spent in what they term “full-time ministry” which entails preaching and converting people to the Jehovah’s Witness religion. There are countless Watchtower publications […] […]

When one of the Governing Body of Jehovah’s Witnesses is spotted at a liquor store located some 23 miles from Bethel, an unknown person captures it all on footage. It’s amazing when you think about the amount of liquor he’s purchasing. Imagine if a local brother in the congregation was caught purchasing the same amount […]

Higher Education has been discouraged by Jehovah’s Witnesses from its very beginning in the 19th century. Even before this group came to be officially known as JW in 1931, their founder Charles Taze Russell was advocating that even finishing High School had little value and a waste of time. Despite living in the technological 21st […]

How many times has a Jehovah’s Witness gone door-to-door offering the Watchtower and Awake! Magazines and boldly proclaiming that they offer free home Bible studies. It’s way too many times to count. They often brag about not paying tithes to the organization and are quick to point the finger and judge parishioners belonging to other […]

In this podcast, special correspondent, Mark Martin continues with JT and Daniel in their discussion on Blood Fractions and Blood Transfusions. Blood is living tissue. Its not digested and consumed by the body such as food and alcohol. You are transplanting living tissue. The Watchtower, as usual, uses a false analogy that is totally debunked […]

March is Women’s History Month and this video is dedicated to all of the ladies in the JW and EXJW communities. Women: Brilliant Minds, but why Second? This podcast features a variety of women from around the world providing their own perspective on what it was like being a female in the Jehovah’s Witness community. […]

Malawi Vs. Mexico Jehovah’s Witnesses are proud to tell others that they live by the same teachings all over the world. Yet, after leaving the religion and doing our research, we discovered that this is certainly not the case. We can recall hearing about the brothers and sisters in Malawi when the Watchtower, Bible & […]

According to JW.org, the circuit overseers were formerly known as Circuit Servants; Servants to the Brethren; Zone Servants; Regional Servants; Regional Service Directors; Pilgrims; Tower Tract Society Representatives. Yet, they used to have men in place known as district overseers, but they no longer exist within the organization. This title was done away w […]
